The orb went into me, and I braced for any unexpected changes, anticipating pain, but there was no pain; instead, a feeling of relaxation filled my body, as if my entire soul was being massaged. Even my vision became clearer, and I could see more of this place.

My body had returned to six feet, and my right arm was still red hot; it may seem that I spent a long time inside my soul, but from all indicators, barely ten seconds had passed.
